(aka - the Manx clone)
Changes from the typical dune buggy of the day included:
- using the normal VW pan or chassis, but with an extended 84 inch wheelbase improved the ride and handling.
- more rear wheel coverage and a longer rear apron that gave improved engine coverage for the MA DMV or the Registry as it's called here.
- and a larger box surrounded the carburetor area and allowed for and aftermarket carb without having to cut that nice new fiberglass body.
- A molded, tuck under fiberglass dash provided a solid mount for steering and gauges.
Nothing radical, but small changes that might have kept the copyright police away at the time? And satisfy the northeast motor vehicle laws.
Autodynamic�s had good capacity, a good product and offered a very complete line of accessories. Overall, a pretty nice package that differentiated this all-weather buggy from those without complete coverage.
In 1969, his body was also used for the basis of the new exciting mid-engined GS chassis kit from Autodynamics. To date, only 5 GS cars have been located with the S-1 body.
Total production of Autodynamic�s Series 1 bodies has been estimated at 300 pieces, the majority home built. I believe there are more S-1's to be identified out there, but to many, it's hard to separate them from being called a Manx or just simply a dune buggy.
and thank you in advance for sharing information on these great little cars.
